11 Nov 2023  |  www.dw.com
The United Nations has raised alarms over escalating rights violations in Sudan's Darfur region amid ongoing conflict between the army and paramilitaries. Over 800 people have been killed in West Darfur, with widespread displacement and severe shortages of essential goods. The conflict, which began in April, has displaced millions within Sudan and to neighboring countries. UN officials stress the dire humanitarian situation, calling for a cease-fire and political resolution to allow displaced people to return home and resume their lives. Mediation talks brokered by international bodies have yet to yield a cease-fire agreement.

Health Experts Say Stigma Impacts South Sudan's Fight Against HIV, AIDS

10 Oct 2023  |  www.voaafrica.com
South Sudan is significantly lagging in its fight against HIV/AIDS, with only 18% of those living with HIV having access to treatment compared to the global average of 67%. Health experts emphasize the need for increased awareness, funding, and a zero discrimination approach to combat the stigma associated with the disease. Community-led organizations are urged to deliver a substantial portion of testing and treatment services, and policies that stigmatize those infected should be abolished. The youth population in South Sudan is particularly misinformed about HIV, necessitating targeted educational efforts.
